I will say that #dragonage #veilguard came in a very close second, but it took longer to fully download. 😅
As a longtime Dragon Age nerd, I'm both excited and nervous about what Veilguard might do to me lol.

Whenever people ask me "what game did you play first when you finally got a PS5"?
I will forever have to answer with a cheeky monster dating sim mashed up with a metroidvania.

Also listen, what I lack in actual sewing/tailoring ability, I make up in weirdly obsessive detail like a hand-smocked "dragon scale" pattern on Mae's dress, or the literal magnetic swords that attach/detach from Isabela's corset, or hand-painting "fingerprint" designs on my own Orb of Destruction

Also hello fellow #dragonage nerds!
I still lack the hardware to run Veilguard (😭) but have been an OG Dragon Age fan since Origins.
I was also a cosplayer for about a decade.

Hi! With new followers recently, I wanted to do an introduction.
I'm Amy, fantasy author. I love everything camp & cheesy 80s fantasy ("Talk to me about Legend/Labyrinth"). I adore all things gothic. Muppets are my jam.
The venn diagram of gothic horror, fairytale, & absurd humor is where I live.

On a random Muppet deep dive tonight and found this sick burn:
"We call this a medium joke, because it's neither rare nor well-done."
And DAMN, Statler and Waldorf, that is COLD. It wasn't even pointed at me and I had to walk that one off a little.

If you see this, post your pets. any of your pets. the cute ones, the spooky ones, the ones that followed you home from the bog and yes they LOOK alarming but really they're very sweet.
Mine is definitely a bog gremlin, but just in the generally gross and kind of dim way.

I HAVE FINISHED THIS MANUSCRIPT.
Tonight was a low-key celebration at home with some tuxedo mousse cake, some sparkling wine, and a movie (American Fiction).
It's in my agent's hands for now, and I hope someday this (yes, horrormance) book fills all the big dreams I have for it.

Finished it last night, and this one will linger with me for a while.

Haven't shared much of my art on here, but I've been having fun doing fanart for other 2024 debuts.

Do you like Mad Max Fury Road, but wish it had dinosaurs and magic and was gloriously bisexual? Then this book is for you.
